School: 1958 vs. 2008

School: 1958 vs. 2008

I just got this in an email forward. I’m sure most everyone has seen it before, but I hadn’t and I found it to be cute, pithy, and too truthful.
Jack goes quail hunting before school, pulls into school parking lot with shotgun in gun rack.
1958 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, [...]

Ebola, Arsenic, Peanuts, Cyanide… Killers! (whatever)

Ebola, Arsenic, Peanuts, Cyanide… Killers! (whatever)

Compassionate Disclaimer: Jesus loves everyone mentioned in this post.
So what’s the deal with these lethal peanuts? Not to sound old and cranky, but when I was growing up there was never such a thing as a so-called “peanut allergy”. No student was ever punished for bringing a PB&J sandwich [...]

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

According to a story today, New York’s darling-est whore, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, is suing Joe Francis, the maker of “Girls Gone Wild” (GGW). If you don’t remember, I blogged about Ashley Dupré in March when she took down Eliot Spitzer… in the political sense.
Now, that GGW guy Joe Francis is scum for sure… but [...]

Earth Day 2008 - What can you do?

Earth Day 2008 - What can you do?

It’s Earth Day 2008 and everyone is talking green - despite the ridiculously hypocritical nature [pun] of it all. I’m not big on the greenies or their leftist propaganda… but I do like this big rock we’re living on. I like it because the chances of a rock just like this to support [...]

Freedom and Obesity

Freedom and Obesity

So I was at the grocery store in the frozen food aisle picking up some vegetables. I catch a glimpse of this grossly obese man down the aisle a ways, with ridiculously over-sized sweats hugging his mammoth torso. He was over 400 pounds for sure. He was holding the the door open [...]

Fatigue

Fatigue

I’ve got mind fatigue. There is so much I could have blogged about over the last few weeks… and I haven’t blogged about ANY of it. It comes to a point where there is so much irrationality being peddled as “compassion” or “equity” or “tolerance” that I sicken. Being smart and having [...]

State of Global Warming
Ha! It’s hard to believe anyone is still taking this seriously, but for those keeping score at home - it now appears that in addition to cows… moose are contributing to global warming more than automobiles?! You can’t make this stuff up. Some braintrust of researchers in Norway are [...]

Something is wrong with vegans!

Something is wrong with vegans!

I just read an article today talking about a group of New Zealanders who fancy themselves as so-called “vegansexuals” - that is, they only have sex with other vegans. Supposedly this all stems from them not wanting to be exposed to people who have “filled themselves with decomposing carcasses”. This begs the question… [...]

Washington, DC

Washington, DC

I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of - it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on [...]

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following:
You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it.
I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if anyone [...]
